Enhanced photovoltaic performance and long-term stability of quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells via molecular engineering.
Organic dyes with long alkyl chains have been synthesized and demonstrated to be highly efficient sensitizers for liquid and quasi-solid-state solar cells, giving power conversion efficiencies of 8.31-8.39% and 7.03-7.31% under AM 1.5 G irradiation, respectively.
